Applied Materials Senior Engineer Failure Analysis 

Singapore, Singapore 

182454479

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead electrical, physical, and material failure analysis on semiconductor components (e.g., ICs, wafers, packages).
• Perform root cause analysis using various analytical techniques (e.g., SEM, FIB, TEM, EDX, X-ray, OBIRCH, TLP, curve tracing, decapsulation).
• Provides Electrical and Physical failure isolation analysis support to localize failure defect and determine root cause of failure in silicon devices
• Drive continuous improvement in quality, productivity, cost and safety of work processes and environment to achieve assigned section/department and/or company KPI.
• Collaborate with design, product, reliability, and process engineering teams to evaluate failures and recommend corrective actions.
• Prepare detailed failure analysis reports and present findings to internal stakeholders and customers.
• Support new product introduction (NPI) by identifying potential failure modes during qualification.
• Manage lab equipment operation and maintenance, and ensure proper calibration and usage.
• Drive continuous improvement of failure analysis processes and methodologies.
• Formulate concise failure analysis reports and responsible in failure analysis results presentation to stakeholders
